>"I believe one of the students told her it wasn't right for her to be there and asked her to leave, said Lt. Raymond Garivey with the Freeport Police Department. "We have information that she was consuming alcohol."

My wife works with teenagers all day, and I'm starting to wonder if I should be concerned after reading all of these stories. Then again, she only works with teenage girls, so if she starts having sex with them, well, that would be kind of hot.

I was very suprised. I was expecting some kind of she beast swamp donkey, but instead we get teh eye bleach. What a good friday. Now all I need is the roomate to pay her rent and everything will be peachy.

You know, usually we see the "smoking hot" teacher and say to ourselves "yeah, well, she was obviously not getting much male attention and was desperate" and we are able to wrap our heads around the ordeal in a simple albeit farked up way. But when we see one of these stories and "smoking hot" is actually VERY doable, we need to ask ourselves "what kind of psycho must she be to have needed to get the d from a minor?"

TheOriginalEd:25 year olds should not be teaching highschool. Theyre still teenagers at that point. Around 30 where the teenage antics start to repulse people.. thats when they should be allowed to be highschool teachers.

I was thinking the same thing.. I know in my high school, the *youngest* teacher was in their 50s. Most of the younger ones were teaching grade school & middle school.

Most of the time, they aren't "molesters" at all, at least once they have their day in court. Then, they're just misunderstood victims of the urges of young men. It's the only reason I can think of that would justify the double standard - men, clearly, are always the aggressors. That's why men get long jail sentences & sex offender status for statutory rape, while women get suspended sentences and probation for the same damned thing.

Still remember my high school Spanish teacher, Miss Linda Alvarez. She was 23, lovely, great personality, and wore peasant blouses. If you had a translating problem she would stand behind you and lean over you with her hand on your shoulder, helping you with the problem. And creating several other problems. Every male in the class prayed they would not be called to get up and walk to the blackboard and write something. In retrospect, I seriously believe she was either a bit clueless about her impact, or the best actress in the world.

Linda Alvarez, if you're reading this, we all loved you and would have walked over hot coals to nail you.

Pepe Roni:spiderpaz: Fissile: What was so special about him that she threw away a very lucrative career?

Tenured teachers in this area (Chicago suburbs) often earn 6 figures. She is 25 and already teaching high school. The term lucrative is subjective, but she did have some nice earning potential.

75 year old tenured teachers sometimes reach 6 figures. The payscale for a teacher who's been there a couple years most likely puts her at $40-50k (at most). That's not much money for somebody who has spent at least 5 years getting a degree and credential, racking up loans. Far from lucrative.

I started working in a high school at 22, and somehow managed to keep my dick in my pants. Most of our new hires come to us fresh out of college and are in their early 20's. Just out of curiosity, what would you propose those people do for the 8 or 9 years between graduating from college and starting their career in education?

Fissile:I said it before, and I'll say it again, I don't know why they do it. What was so special about him that she threw away a very lucrative career?

I dated a hot teacher for about 9 years (from age of 19-28), and she used to tease me about whichever hotter young guy in her class was flirting with her. She wasn't attracted to young guys in particular, it was more of a case of finally being able to hold the attention of Mr. Captain Football-Blonde dude, without the competition of similar females.
